Control Shine with a Small Bottle of Flat Base

This 10ml flat base from Mr.Hobby is formulated to mix into Acrysion acrylics and lower gloss without affecting coverage. It helps create a subtle, lifelike appearance on scale models where shine would look out of place.

Best Practices for Mixing

Combine flat base in small increments and test on a scrap piece until you reach the preferred matt level. For airbrush use ensure the mixture is thinned appropriately and filtered to avoid clogging nozzles.

Why Model Builders Use This Flat Base

The water-based formula keeps handling simple and reduces cleanup time. Seamless blending with Acrysion colours makes it straightforward to produce consistent matt areas across a project.

How long does it take to dry between coats?

Dry times vary with humidity and temperature, but light coats typically surface-dry within 10 to 20 minutes. Allow longer before handling or applying additional layers.

Can I seal a matt finish over this flat base?

Yes, you can apply compatible clear coats to protect the surface, though choose a matt or satin sealer if you want to retain the low sheen. Test first to ensure finish consistency.

Is extra thinning needed for airbrush use?

Often some additional thinner is required after adding flat base to maintain good spray characteristics. Adjust thinning gradually to preserve pigment strength and flow.

Will it work on resin kits?

Yes, it can be used on primed resin parts. Ensure the resin is cleaned and primed before painting to avoid adhesion problems.

What is the best way to clean brushes after use?

Clean brushes with warm water and mild soap for water-based Acrysion mixes. For stubborn residues, use a brush cleaner formulated for acrylic paints.
